I had a less-than-pleasant experience with Tietze Plumbing. My elderly mother called to get a quote about replacing a water heater because it's around 9 years old and about time for a replacement, and the technician - Eric according to the invoice - used some frustrating sales tactics that I did not appreciate. I've been flipping houses for over a decade, and have experience with subs, trades, these pressuring sales tactics. Specifically, Eric was pushy about trying to find out who else we were getting quotes from, wanted to know who told us the water heater was 9 years old (looking up the model told us - concerning question from a plumber), asked my mom what she would do if hot water stopped working tomorrow (common tactic to pressure a sale when you're up front about collecting quotes from multiple companies), and before he would show my mom a quote, he asked her several times what her budget was. At this point I was frustrated and chimed in, "$500, we're asking *you* for a quote" (for anyone unfamiliar with water heater prices, they're about a grand to purchase sans labor, and the lowball "budget" was deliberate due to frustration). While I understand the purpose of this (setting expectations), the delivery was awful and pushy. Looking at other reviews, others seem happy with this company. But I am not at all pleased with how Eric handled this very simple quote request, and will not use or recommend him or this company for any of my flips or renovation projects in San Antonio and surrounding areas, and would advise others to be leery of "urgency sales tactics" - a good plumber does not approach a situation like this unless there is a solid reason for urgency concern - like, if she had mentioned issues with hot water, which she did not, this is a proactive, preventative maintenance, which was clearly communicated up front.
